A MAN has been jailed for 28 days for carrying out two thefts and committing criminal damage in Cardigan.

Alex Smith, of no fixed abode, admitted stealing a purse containing approximately £10, a dashcam, deodorant and perfume on January 11 in Cardigan.

He also pleaded guilty to stealing a jacket on the same date and to damaging several solar panel lights, two solar panels and two large glass jars.

Magistrates at Aberystwyth Justice Centre sentenced the 22-year-old to 28 days in prison for each offence to run concurrently because of his previous record, along with a victim surcharge of £115.
